PHILADELPHIA – Victor Thach, 47, of Philadelphia, was sentenced today to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay $1,337,000 in restitution to the IRS, arising out of his scheme to evade payroll and other taxes. Between 2007 and 2009, Thach operated a 250-person labor leasing agency that supplied temporary workers (including many illegal aliens) to local mail-sorting facilities. During this time period Thach’s clients paid him more than $9.8 million for the labor he provided. Thach, in turn, paid his employees in cash and \”under the table,\” that is, without issuing IRS Forms W-2 or deducting any payroll taxes. Despite having a multi-million dollar payroll, and despite that two accountants separately counseled him about his tax and reporting obligations during the years in question, Thach did not file a single tax return (corporate or individual).
